Ok house coots, lets get something straight...


Dec 28, 2009, 5:07 PM

You guys won. 2009 is your season over us. You blew us out and there is nothing we can say about it. Head to head trumps all else. 9 wins vs. your 7 or 8 wins don't matter for this season. We had 60 minutes and we failed. You win the whole year.

That said... and follow me closely here... the rivalry is much bigger than this year. And the rivalry is ours. Am I relying on games that happened twenty or thirty or sixty years ago? Nope. I am not talking about being on top, significantly, in the overall record. I am talking about two programs in the same state, over the last five, ten, fifteen, twenty, whatever years. Between the two of us, we are superior. We have a better history, a better school, more success, more championships, more wins against you, more wins in general, more bowls, more 9,10,11,12 win seasons, and so on and so forth. Beating us 20-25% of the time may make you feel superior but it's going to be hard to sell that to a Clemson Tiger.

Conclusion? You won this year, and for that you have scoreboard. Nothing wrong with bragging about that the whole year. But when you start to sound as if you have altered the rivalry for anything more than one year, or significantly altered your recent, medium, or long-term history, it makes us feel better. It reminds us that no matter how frustrated we are with failing to win the ACC year after year, at least... thank God, we are not Gamecocks.
